#1: REP's online Store has been open for business only a month, and already it's been updated and improved. We've restocked the most popular items—which sold out soon after we announced the Store via email—and added new ones. Our restock order was larger than the first, enabling us to reduce the prices of some logo items. We've switched our shipper from UPS to postal mail, so shipping now costs less than at first.

If you haven't been to the REP store lately, please drop in for a visit!

Also...please send us a photo of yourself sporting a REP shirt or hat... for possible use on our website and in future Green Elephants.

#2: Our 2008 Annual Meeting and Conference will be held in Orlando on Saturday, November 8—just four days after the presidential election. Our hotel, the Florida Hotel and Conference Center, is just minutes via free shuttle to Disney World... so bring the family! There will be REP and ConservAmerica board meetings beforehand, plus an informal get-acquainted gathering Friday evening.

We'll be sending members the conference agenda and registration information via US postal mail. For now... please save the date and plan to join us for an informative, timely event in Orlando!!!

#3: We're compiling a list of REP members who want to get involved with the McCain campaign in their communities. If you'd like to be engaged in that good effort, please let Martha Marks know.
